Our methodology for external network penetration testing includes the following steps:
Tools Used : • Nmap • enum4linux • Metasploit • Nessus
For more information or to schedule a penetration test, please contact us.
• Strengthened network defenses
• Identification of critical vulnerabilities
• Assessment of Active Directory configuration and policies
• Compliance with security standards (e.g., PCI DSS)
• Enhanced incident response readiness
Network Pentesting, or Network Penetration Testing, involves simulating realworld attacks on a network infrastructure to identify vulnerabilities and weaknesses, evaluating the security of both internal and external networks.
External Network Pentesting assesses the security of publicly accessible network infrastructure, like internet-facing servers and web applications. Internal Network Pentesting evaluates the security of internal network segments, including servers and workstations within the organization.
External Network Pentesting uses tools like Nmap, Nessus, and Metasploit. Internal Network Pentesting also incorporates techniques such as privilege escalation, lateral movement, and network sniffing
External networks often have vulnerabilities like misconfigured firewalls, unpatched software, and weak authentication mechanisms. Internal networks typically face issues like weak password policies, outdated software, and insufficient access controls.
Organizations should define clear objectives and scope, obtain necessary permissions, and inform stakeholders about the assessment. Network pentesting helps identify vulnerabilities, prioritize remediation, and enhance security posture, reducing the risk of cyber-attacks and data breaches.
